Verdict: Paivis Corp isn't generating high returns. Prepaid telecommunication items are not in demand. Most telecommunication companies are offering better deals that are making business difficult for Paivus, I would refrain from investing in this company until they can possibly find another niche to the market.

PHYA.PK Physicians Adult Daycare
PHYA.PK
Physicians Adult Daycare, Inc. is an organization providing assistance in care for the elderly
Verdict: There are better and more caring forms of assistance for the elderly. More support is being developed as the older generation needs more and more assistance. Day care for the elderly was a fuzzy idea, but the reality is the elderly need a more permanent form of assistance if they are going to this day care facility in the first place. Day care sounds like a children's place and the elderly want to be treated as adults. This company may not meet the demands of the elderly.

Verdict: Sharper Image has faced lots of new competition, especially from major electronic companies such as Apple and Microsoft. It's products aren't of the highest quality and many of them are rather complicated to operate. Many products also serve very little purpose as customer interests have become more aware of thier spending habits due to the decline in the economy.

WCYO.OB West Canyon Energy Corp.
WCYO.OBWest Canyon Energy Corp. engages in the exploration and production of oil and gas properties in Colombia and the continental United States. It holds a 20% participation stake in the Talora block comprising 108,333 acres located southwest of Bogota; a 16% participation stake in the Buenavista block covering 25,000 acres situated in northeast of Bogota; and a 6% working interest in the Corbonera block located northeast of Bogota.

The company is headquartered in Houston, Texas.52wk Range:0.39 - 2.33
Verdict: This company relies entirely on the discovery of oil and gas, and many of the major companies have already established strong positions in the oil and gas exploration. If the areas they are searching in have no resources then the company is not producing any returns. This company seems just as risky as trying to win the lottery. It has all its attention in one market and that has hurt them strongly. This company may not be able to continue to fund its exploration projects and any invesment may turn to major losses.
